Studying Winter - Making crystal snowflakes

We have finished Autumn, but will be going to Kew Gardens to see the trees starting to change. So now we are learning about winter, it does feel a bit strange to be doing winter crafts when it is not winter yet though.
Jude mixing a saturated solution of salt water.
Once the salt no longer dissolves, the water can be used to paint a snowflake with.
The picture must be left overnight so the water evaporates and all that is left is sparkly crystals.
